Intuitive Point of Sale for Mac

NEW: Lightspeed news and user comments are now in our blog.

LightSpeed is a ground-breaking, next-generation Point of Sale system built exclusively for the Mac and designed expressly to accelerate growing small businesses. LightSpeed excels in retail environments, providing your store with a comprehensive set of easy-to-use retail tools that make it easy to operate and track all aspects of your business.

LightSpeed presents these tools in an easy-to-learn iTunes-like Browser and an innovative 'floating' Point of Sale interface designed for high-speed, error-free checkout. LightSpeed's tightly-integrated Web Store module (sold separately) can help you take your business online and download orders right back into LightSpeed.

LightSpeed is also ready for the growth of your retail business, from multi-store inventory lookups and transfers that facilitate the flow of stock between your current or future store locations, to a solid multi-user database that will scale to serve hundreds of simultaneous users.

If you're opening a retail store or business, or currently operate one, we invite you to download a free 30 day demo of LightSpeed, view a Quick Tour, or sign up for a free Webinar, and envision a new way of doing business on your Mac!

Lightspeed Web Store

One-Click Updates

The LightSpeed Web Store lets business owners generate and maintain a fully-customizable PHP and CSS-based e-commerce site from their LightSpeed database, with a single click. Products are set up in web categories with special web descriptions, prices (if desired), and assigned searchable keywords. The Web Store re-uses the product photos already saved in a LightSpeed database, and photos can be updated in LightSpeed by simply dragging and dropping images into the Browser, or capturing them with an iSight camera.

Matrix, Inventory, Tax and Shipping Support

Web Store 1.1 features an all-new matrix system that enables each size and color combination to have its own picture, description and price. Inventory and availability information works seamlessly with the new matrix to show customers what's in stock. On-screen tax calculations and a built-in domestic and international shipping calculator from the United States Postal Service provide an accurate total, making customers feel comfortable and confident when purchasing from your LightSpeed Web Store.

Easy Order Processing

Web Orders are downloaded with a single-click and can be processed using LightSpeed's built-in credit card processing capability. Shoppers are matched with customer records in the database and automatically receive an email to alert them that their order has been received. If products are not in stock, the order requests can flow directly into LightSpeed's purchasing system.

Amazing Templates

LightSpeed Web Store ships with three professionally-designed templates that can be modified to suit any business. Or retailers can design their own CSS template to match an existing web site. Introducing a new item or advertising a new promotion on the Web Store, is as easy as dragging and dropping new header and sub-header graphics from your directly into LightSpeed.

While the supplied templates are nicely designed, it is unlikely they will work for everyone and, if you need a bit of flare or a unique look for your site, Lucid Design can design the entire look and feel of your Lightspeed-powered website applying our philosophy of creating something simple, elegant and highly functional.

Secure and Low-Maintenance

Since it doesn't require a live database connection, the LightSpeed Web Store is a very secure and low-maintenance e-commerce solution. Retailers can host their LightSpeed Web Store on any web host that supports PHP 5.1 with standard options enabled or Lucid Design can host and maintain it for you.
